Fellows,
Nobody complained, but I noticed a little problem in searching those
"static" American Memory pages through the Library's "search our site" page
<http://lcweb.loc.gov/harvest/query-lc.html> linked to the Library's home
page <http://www.loc.gov/>.
Well, it's been fixed.
To see it in action, go to <http://lcweb.loc.gov/harvest/query-lc.html> and
search for:
"time line" AND revolution
You'll get links to a number of time lines related to the [American]
Revolution on the LC website, plus a few pages with links to these time lines.
Be careful when you use this tool....
1. It only searches "static" web pages -- so in American Memory expect
to find collection home pages, special presentations, index lists -- not
collection items. Learning Pages are also indexed here.
2. It uses a different search engine from American Memory & THOMAS. The
default Boolean Operator is OR. Unlike American Memory, if you want a
phrase, you have to ask for it -- use quotes. If you want "AND" say so --
in all caps.
Good day!
Betty
